mstsc -v:servername /F -console

or

mstsc -v:servername:port  /F -console

Works like a champ, or a charm, or whatever you like to say. Gives you the actual console session, so if you have two sessions left connected and can’t get in your server, this is the workaround. Or if you install PHP and it’s throwing errors in dialog boxes on the console, you can log in this way to see (and dismiss) said dialogs.
